I'm a female, I don't find as much time to hunt as I'd like but I am addicted to metal detecting lol, I know madsonicboating (from off here) and as he mentioned I was lucky enough to find an 1857 gold half sovereign with my trusty ACE 350 =D!!
I have looked on here now and then so thought now seemed a good time to join, so Hi.
When I figure out how to upload photos etc I will try and share the results of my hunts. Its always fun to share your finds with like-minded people :)

Gidday - congratulations on being a female - and also for finding the half sovereign - I think it might be one I lost during my last reincarnation. Welcome to the forum. I have been metal detectoring for a good few years - takes shoes and socks of to count fingers and toes but cant tell you how many years because I ran out of fingers and toes so its over twenty years...well actually I started in 1980...and I have never yet found a gold coin so you have done extremely well.

It is older than most coins found and to date the oldest gold coin I have heard of being found in Kiwiland - dont sell it - keep it as gold is a great investment.

Hmmm - funny thing but I was always looking for a female gold mining companion to!

Good luck with your future detectoring but please leave the odd gold coin for me...and I dont mean brass 'gold' coins.

Great find! I bet you did a great victory dance! I would be dancing and skipping all the way home! My wife would even get excited about that one!
